Street Fighter is 25 years old, so to celebrate that milestone Capcom has released a hefty documentary on the series. I have more memories of frustration than joy when I look back at my Street Fighter fandom, but mostly because I was never very good. That never stopped me from being a big fan though. I remember being little and reading the manual over and over again, especially in the bathroom. I also read the back of cleaner bottles while I pooped. I guess I was too afraid to take a book or newspaper in the restroom for some reason. Now I bring an entire office/entertainment center.
Check out the video, free for stream on Youtube (at the bottom of the post, too). Here are some of my favorite Street Fighter memories.
If you’ve never been to a tournament or even seen high level players, you’re missing out on something beautiful. Check out this amazing come-from-behind win by legendary player, Daigo (Playing as Ken).
And let’s not forget about the best moment from Street Fighter: The Movie.
Ken’s Theme.
And without further ado, I Am Street Fighter.
